RE: To delve deeper....

To delve deeper....

The KPA is a dedicated Amp Profiler - Is it perfect at it's job? No. Will it get better? We assume so.

The AFX II is a Stereo Amp Modeler/Profiler with in-depth effects & routing - Is it perfect at it's job? No. Will it get better? We assume so.
Christophe Kemper could have not made the KPA a Profiler, he could have called it the KAM, Kemper Amp Modeller, then he could have Profiled amps himself and sold them to us in "Amp packs" as 'modelled' amps...we would never have known, and the unit would have sounded the same.

Obviously he has a "futuristic" mind, so instead of sitting at his workbench 'modelling' amps for us, we can sit at our workbenches whilst a few thousand guitarists around the world Profile amps for us....a different way of getting to the end result.

PS: I can already tell that a certain 'tone enhancing device' yours truly designed would help the Kemper immensely (especially the overdrive tones), but I will not go into it - let's just say the Kemper distortion has a tendency towards 'fizziness' and a 'scattered' high end.

I think you're in need of the "stirring the pot" smiley.

This thread was dying peacefully until you resurrected it.

No problem - I said what I believe to be true and you are mocking it..... The Harmonic Converger has worked for many pro players around the world who felt their digital devices were not sounding like real guitar amps (less fizzy highs, more tubey snarl) this is the truth, and is backed by countless user reviews.... now let's let it die in peace and I will say no more. (unless you do)

Apologies, apologies...I misunderstood...sorry, Radley.

I didn't put two and two together, I forgot you are the inventor of the Harmonic Converger, and yes the reviews have always been stellar.

Bring it on, tell us more, I'm interested.

Not this again!
Ok Rad, if you gotta bring it on with the HC, please do it in another thread.
Thanks

P.s. BTW, I was waiting when the HC would come up. I knew it would happen sooner or later ;)

I spoke the my mind and you don't agree - let THAT be the end of it, so please shut up.

You weren't waiting for shit, because I have not mentioned the HC on any modeling board for over 4 years. The fact is that the the HC does what it claims and has many user reviews to prove it. If that is offensive to you then maybe you should find a more perfect board, because this one is still looking for the best ways to make to make the best sounds for modern guitarists...

Radley: could we turn the tone of the discussion down a notch, please? :P
